#Windows10 gets its own exclusive #Linux distro -- WLinux by Whitewater Foundry!

Just discovered the Falkon #webbrowser. https://www.falkon.org/

Any rabies or plague found on it yet? #internet #security #linux #qt #firefox

Recent releases of #Mozilla #Firefox have improved quite a bit, but Firefox on #Linux still lacks hardware video acceleration/decoding. So be prepared to burn your CPU and battery while watching videos. #webbrowsers

So a rad person in the forums of @ArchLabsLinux posted this site: https://distrotest.net/

Very slick place to run and check out a ton of #linux distros.

This week on GNU World Order, I talk about Itch.io, the other (other) treasure trove for Linux gaming. Also, Open Game Jam 2018 is weeks away!

So I was using Abricotine to write in #linux, but the copy to HTML for my blog didn't work so well. I am annoyed by that.

Anyone have a #Markdown editor to suggest. It seems like anything nice is in Electron. Puke.

Perhaps I need to play with Sublime some more. I grabbed the MarkdownEditing package, but I was somewhat confused at activating it. Sublime wasn't behaving as the package advertised.

That's cool! I am probably going to do the corresponding #linux #manpagedaily. ^_^

I detect a slight problem with Kickstarter. From a consumer perspective, I feel like my $50 as a #Linux #gamer for Bards Tale IV is as good as anybody else's $50. But I don't I get the game on release day?

I get it. They test and release for Win, and then the others. But still, the result is that my donation feels less worthy than a Windows user's donation.

Maybe setting expectations early would be worth while? Or make sure your non-Win *beta* gets released the same day as Win release?

> #LinusTorvalds's "unprofessional" behaviour is (was?) a great counterpower to #corporate control over #Linux

I couldn't disagree more with your comments at that link, and if I called you a "fucking moron" for expressing them, would I be some kind of hero? No, and Linus has finally realized he isn't when he calls people names like that either. In this context "unprofessional" is not code for "anti-corporate", it's the politest possible way of saying "acting like an asshole"

In this week's Gnu World Order, I review Lutris, the open gaming platform, and I talk about learning new tech by comparing Fossil and Git.

Slickly edited, but sadly misrepresents the history. See my review on the page.

@pho4cexa @LWFlouisa look at the way IBM, Novell, Apple, basically everyone who isn't Microsoft, ended up gathering around #Linux and #BSD. Without the leverage Microsoft gained by owning DOS (then building the Windows and Office business on the platform monoply that gave them), I think that would have happened much sooner.

Bye `sudo` or `su`, handle linux privilege with granularity?
